ex-DP players looking for new home

HLTV.org has learned that the contracts of the DarkPassage players have expired and they are looking for a new home.

The Turkish team which features 18-year old prospects Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın and Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker are the second best team in their region after Space Soldiers and are currently not under contract.

ex-DarkPassage recently attended WESG World Finals in China where they finished their group in the first place and advanced to the playoffs. They faced Virtus.pro in the quarter-finals and had a good start but the experience of the Poles prevailed. ex-DarkPassage finished 5-8th and took home $10,000.


Calyx won TWC 2016 with Turkey 

HLTV.org has learned that their contracts expired after coming back from China and woxic gave us the following statement:

"In a short time span such as six months, we have done a good job in the tournaments we could attend. My teammates and I spend a lot of time to develop ourselves individually and as a team. Our goal is to attend a lot of LAN tournaments and get good results. Our biggest goal is to one day qualify for the Major and perform well there. With the talent we have in our squad and the fact that we are young and are hungry for success, we believe we can achieve everything.

We are looking to find a new organization as soon as possible to find the consistency we had before. Right now we are focusing on qualifying for the ESL Pro League Season 6 through ESEA Premier playoffs. You can reach us via email ([email protected]) if you want to support us."

ex-DarkPassage's lineup is:

Turkey Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker
Turkey Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın
Turkey Ufuk "⁠SasuKe⁠" Göktaş
Turkey Muhammed "⁠mini⁠" Salman
Turkey Bora "⁠Maiko⁠" Igci
